Still not a good enough reasons to use Starlink.

We should be investing in making sure all Voting Locations have proper telecommunication infrastructure.

Most voting locations are schools and most schools are connected to the NBN.

I’m not looking forward to the day when we see columns of Bob Semple Tanks crossing the Ditch.

Unless you get a vintage one with a wooden handle, most have a rubberised or plastic handle.

I love how The Age put their article about Palmer trying to buy the election with ads right above one of his ads.

NextCloud looks like the go.

It appears that running it on my Synology is a bit of a hack so I just need to decide whether to go for a dedicated mini NAS or to find a host.

They don’t need explosives to destroy a Caravan in Australia, All they need is a couple of Baby Boomers and a dodgy Auto Electrician. Grey Nomads destroy more caravans than Faux-Terrorists ever could.

Ubiquiti also offer a consumer/gamer mesh product but it is typically more expensive than their prosumer products, and less extensible.

I as lucky enough to use Apollo. As soon as it stopped working, Reddit became useless to me.

(Or not useful enough to use their horrendous website, old.reddit website or official app)

These People consider Government getting in their way. They want a Feudal Anarchy where the rich and powerful can dominate and dictate over the poor.

The problem is that Government regulation of Polluters and Environmental protection and oversight is getting mixed up with restricting public citizens.

For instance, not being able to go 4WDing in State Forests causes people to become radicalised and susceptible to Corporate manipulation. The next thing you know, you have Outdoors enthusiasts voting for clear-felling of National Parks.

They were manufactured in China.

The best things to boycott are Services. If everyone cancels their Netflix, Amazon Prime, AppleTV/Music and YouTube Premium for an extended period it would definitely send a message.

I’m currently looking at an alternative to iCloud Drive for my family’s backups. The Apple One Family subscription is still the most cost-effective solution for backing up everyone’s Phones and iPads, but a Roll-Your-Own solution is on my project sheet, especially after what happens in the UK!

Considering that the VIN number needs to be inspected and verified for each vehicle during the entire Import/Compliance/Distribution/Delivery process, this is a pretty big balls-up.

 

Apparently, 90% of caravans are overloaded in QLD.

New Caravan owners also don’t know how to tow.

 

What are peoples’ opinions of the new Victorian distracted driving rules?

My interpretation is that they are more lenient than the previous rules in some ways but much more onerous in others.

 

Mueller River Campground has 5 vehicle-accessible sites, 3 pedestrian-access sites. Each site has access to the inlet beach for canoeing, fishing and swimming.

The nearby Thurra River Campground is not currently accessible due to fires and floods taking out the bridge.
